It’s been another eventful week in the Big Brother house, resulting in one of the best episodes of the show in the last few years.
*** SPOILERS ***
SCRIPTED STU
A week ago Stuart moved in, and despite Sylvia sharing a bath with him within hours, then jumping into his bed, Jen and Dale were in no doubt he was in the house for one reason - he’s Jen’s perfect man. Not only was Dale’s position as hunk of the house challenged, Stuart was older, with a kid - and crucially, he had the eye lashes.
The paranoia continued on Sunday when Big Brother set them an art task- to draw Stuart naked. Stuart had to choose the winner, and naturally he chose art student Jen’s picture, with the scripted nature of the task not going unnoticed by love rival Dale - especially when Big Brother put the picture on the fridge. More about that later.
NOMINATIONS REVEALED
On to nominations and Mohammed’s eating and Sylvia’s cookie stashing put them in the firing line - but in her first visit to the camera runs for the reveal new BBLB host Zezi managed to do something Dermot avoided for seven years - get spotted in the camera run.
JAILMATES
Also this week after Becs became the first housemate to be sent to jail last week - by being unlucky enough in opening one of “Big Brother’s ever changing mystery prizes”, Big Brother started sending people to jail for real. Dennis and Jen were the first to go as Big Brother forced seven housemates reprimanded for discussing the audition and chaperone process, followed by an overnight stint for Rex and Mohammed for discussing nominations. Also spending a night “bang up at Big Brother’s pleasure” this week for discussing nominations this week were Dennis and Darnell, and then Mikey and Mario.
OK GO!
Every year there’s a task which makes itself around the world, and this week it was the turn of the BBUK housemates to recreate the infamous OK GO video “Here it goes again”. After facilitator Mario conducted a health and safety examination, Dale, Stuart, Rachel and Sylvia were deemed fit enough to run across treadmills. Rachel then went on to injury her finger and was replaced by Rex, much to the disappointment of the others - Dale especially can’t stand him, and the feeling is now mutual after Rex overheard Dale sharing his views with the others.
And here is how they did:
FIGHT NIGHT II (2008) - STRONG LANGUAGE
Ever since the infamous Fignt Night of BB5 back in 2004, there seems to be an event branded “Fight Night II” every year - but this years event is the most disturbing of the title. Half of the housemates were involved, the live feed was cut - and one housemate got kicked out.
It all started just after midnight on Thursday night when Rex made some modifications to Jen’s picture of Stu. “You wouldn’t do that to Monet, would you?” was Jen’s response, as most the house struggled to tell the difference. She then burst into tears in the bedroom. Rex went into apologise, which seemed to be accepted - but then it all escalated.
Dale, who has been in unrequited love for Jen since virtually day one - and has pretty much hated Rex since then too - was the first to get involved, returning to the bedroom to ask Rex to apologise after seeing how upset Jen was. Rex said he had, with Dale saying he hoped it was sincere.
Love rival Stu overheard this and went to find out why Jen was so upset, before himself telling Rex to apologise as Jen was crying his eyes out. Rex, backed up by Mohammed, returned to the luxury bedroom to apologise and made a point of doing it infront of everyone, to which he seemingly got criticised for apologising by those who had forced him too.
Mohammed then stepped into to defend his friend, saying “it’s just a painting”. And then it kicked off as Stuart shouted back “it’s not just a painting”. Hot headed Dale told Mohammed to “get off his dick”, Becs stepping in to try and prevent anything intensifying. Mohammed was then accused of getting in the face of a girl, with Mohammed then heading towards Dale. Meanwhile Dennis was muttering under his breath “creep, creep, creep” - and then spat straight into Mohammed’s face. (WARNING: Strong language and heated arguments)
Dennis was called immediately to the diary room and Mohammed was in shock. Dennis continued attacking Mohammed as he made his way to the diary room, with accusations of “cry baby” as he waited to be let in the diary room, with Mohammed having to be held back by Darnell and Mario. Mohammed then collapsed in tears and shock.
Darnell was furious that Mohammed had been spat in the face, especially as he believed those in the other bedroom supported Dennis’s actions. He went in there and asked the question, losing his temper in the process and having to be escorted out by Dale as Big Brother ordered him to leave. As Dale took Darnell back to “B block”, Mohammed then told Dale to get out and it kicked off again. Dale was ordered back to the luxury bedroom and the house was put into lockdown for the night.
The housemates were then allowed to sleep it off and were awoken with the news Dennis had been removed for unacceptable behaviour.
Initially there was obvious resentment against Mohammed that he was to blame for Dennis’s removal, but over the day as Big Brother talked to the housemates and encouraged them to talk to each other, the house was in agreement Dennis had to be removed for his actions.
That night, after Sylvia was evicted over Mohammed, there was an uneasy union between the two sides of the house as they stayed up late into the night, basically talking sex. However, fractions have come to the surface again over the weekend - with the “happy” people caught in the middle in the firing line.
And in three short weeks Big Brother UK is back to its best, with Friday’s eviction shows, which featured all the highlights from Fight Night, the best episode in a number of years - and this one event being the catalyst to completely change the dynamics of the show over the next few weeks.
